CD 411 - Leafy Thinking of You

Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge # 411!

The new Core catalog has been released for Close To My Heart and there are 8 colours that are retiring. This challenge gives you one last chance to use those colours as the tic-tac-toe grid includes all of them plus silver and gold. 

My tic-tac-toe is twofold - bottom row and diagonal from top left to bottom right. 

Since the autumn season is upon us with the trees changing here, I decided to use the colours that would work for the changing leaves. The leaves were die cut from an older set of thin cuts and I used the lighter shade of the cardstock for the leaf bases and the darker shade for the overlay. A background of black dots was used along with a piece of Eggplant patterned paper and some Julep glitter paper. The sentiment was embossed with gold embossing powder and placed across two sections of the card. I added some gold embellishing thread, a few gold glitter gems and I also brushed the leaf overlays with the Gold Shimmer Brush. 

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you interpret the grid shown above.
